PHOENIX — The International Franchise Association (IFA) today named Chris Sikes, owner and operator of Handyman Connection of Wilmington, NC, as a 2023 Franchisee of the Year. Sikes was honored at the 64th IFA Annual Convention in Phoenix, Ariz, for being an outstanding franchise establishment owner-operator.

“Franchisees of the Year exemplify what franchising is all about – providing opportunity, serving others, and fulfilling the American Dream,” said Matthew Haller, President and CEO of the International Franchise Association. “We are proud to recognize Chris Sikes with the highest honor IFA awards to individual franchisees, and I have no doubt his work is changing lives and making a lasting community impact.”

The Franchisee of the Year Award recognizes leading franchise owners from IFA member brands whose outstanding performance and contributions help protect, enhance, and promote the franchise business model. Nominated by their parent company, individuals are selected for their involvement in their communities, embodying the entrepreneurial spirit, fostering a strong and healthy culture with their workforce, and assisting their fellow franchisees when called upon.

Handyman Connection services a variety of home improvement and repair needs from carpentry, flooring, and electrical work to painting, plumbing, and remodeling. Even if Handyman Connection can’t provide a specific service, the brand’s expansive network of local craftsmen allows them to refer one who can get the job done right. Handyman Connection’s core values of delivering on its commitments, respecting its connections, practicing continuous improvement, and having pride in what they do have allowed the brand to uphold its quality assurance standard for over three decades. Sikes is honored and humbled to accept this award which solidifies the fact that the effort he has put towards franchise entrepreneurship has not gone unnoticed and he has created a business that is special and loved by his community.

“I am beyond proud of Chris Sikes for his amazing accomplishment,” said Jeff Wall, CEO of Handyman Connection. “Chris embodies everything that Handyman Connection stands for and our commitment to providing world-class care and customer service to our communities in need.”

Chris and his team look forward to taking their customer’s repairs and remodeling dreams to reality and beyond. They believe that quality is in the name and trust is in the relationship at Handyman Connection of Wilmington.

“Being honored as a 2023 IFA’s Franchisee of the Year is an incredible honor and a testament to the dedication of my team,” said Chris Sikes. “We work tirelessly, not for accolades, but to make a meaningful impact in the lives of our clients and customers. This accomplishment underscores the importance of our commitment to excellence and the trust our community places in us.

There are over 800,000 franchised businesses across the U.S., providing over 8.7 million direct jobs and generating over $850 billion in economic output. According to Oxford Economics, franchising on average provides higher wages and better benefits than non-franchised businesses, as well as greater entrepreneurial opportunities to minorities, women, veterans, and other underrepresented communities.

Mr. Handyman® Launches Sixth Annual “My Pet Peeves” Photo Contest

Nation’s Leading Home Maintenance, Repair and Improvement Franchise Celebrates National Pet Month with Photos of Mischievous Pets and Damage Repair Tips.

WACO, Texas — Mr. Handyman, a Neighborly® company and the nation’s leading home maintenance, repair, and improvement franchise, is celebrating National Pet Month this May with its sixth annual “My Pet Peeves” photo contest, inviting pet owners to share moments of silly but damaging behavior caused by their pets in their homes. The contest will showcase humorous situations pets have gotten themselves into and reassure pet owners that Mr. Handyman is here to help repair the comedic chaos.

To enter the “My Pet Peeves” photo contest, visit Mr. Handyman’s official entry page on Facebook and submit a photo of your pet’s naughty behavior and house damages that you couldn’t help but laugh at. Ideas include – but are not limited to – a pet’s yard damage, annihilated shoes, in-home destruction, getting into the snack drawer, or just their cute face by May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. CT. Dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, reptiles, bunnies, turtles and more are welcome. Mr. Handyman will reward five random winners with a $250 PetSmart e-gift card to show that even though our pets can drive us crazy at times, we’ll always love them no matter what!

“Pets are part of our families, we care for them the same way we care for each other, and often rely on them for emotional support. This doesn’t stop them from creating problems in our homes from time to time,” said Jeff Palla, President of Mr. Handyman. “The great part of this is that our professional Mr. Handyman technicians know how to repair damages caused by pets, while still understanding the value they add to families. Our services ease stress between having a pet and a home and the maintenance that comes with both.”

Additionally, Mr. Handyman offers the following tips to assist pet owners with common pet-caused damages:

Repair Chewed Drywall: To fix drywall that may have been gnawed at by a puppy or anxious dog, scrape loose debris from holes or dents and cover with fast-drying spackle. Let dry for at least 24 hours and conceal repairs with a bit of touch-up paint. While small bite holes are easy to camouflage, years of covering damage can eventually lead to uneven drywall.

Protect the Floors: Pets can damage hardwood floors simply by walking on it. Protect hardwood by maintaining claw length and keeping area rugs around the house for pets to lie on. Fix minor scratches with floor cleaner and protective finish. Clean the scratch with a damp cloth, scrub the cleaner over the scratch, and repeat with a clean cloth to rinse away hardwood cleaner.

Safeguard Wood: Wood is often a target for pets who chew or scratch. The easiest protection plan is to add plastic sheeting or PVC tubing around table and chair legs to prevent claw and bite marks. Save doors by adding clear, plastic sheeting.
